‘A Day at UM’ is a campus tour campaign launched by the Communications Office of the University of Macau (UM) in 2018 for the public to experience campus life at the university, the public university has announced.
According to a UM statement on Friday, as the tours have been very well received, the campaign will continue to be held this year. Participants in the campus tours will be guided by the university’s well-trained PR Student Ambassadors. The tours are free, and all interested parties, including organisations and individuals, are welcome to join.
In Chinese, the tour is known as “Be a university student for a day”.
UM’s campus on Hengqin Island covers 1.09 square kilometres. With Hengqin Hill serving as a backdrop and designed with a ‘people-orientated’ approach, the campus aims to provide an environment conducive to scholarly pursuits, the statement said.
Led by PR Student Ambassadors, participants in the tours will visit different spots on campus, such as the University Gallery, the library, and various residential colleges.
“They can learn more about the university and its members while enjoying the beauty of the campus,” the statement said. In addition, the tours include interactive games and participants will have the opportunity to receive limited-edition souvenirs. After the tour, participants can also choose to have a meal at one of the on-campus restaurants, the statement noted.
The ‘A Day at UM’ campus tours are available Monday through Saturday, with two sessions per day, each lasting about 1 1/2 hours, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., respectively. The tours will be conducted in Cantonese, Putonghua or English. At least 10 people are required for each tour.
